The show always sounds a little too complicated at this point, with no real idea of what to do with characters like John, Dan, Kim, or Susan.

Thanks. I guess that was pretty smart of KL fans. Was the show any good? I guess it didn't help that this was when Cheers was starting to become hugely popular. LA Law was such a soapy show - I wonder why KL managed to do well against that.

That's weird. I wonder if some of the unevenness of that season didn't help. At least fans were loyal and tuned back in after the return to 10 PM. The last shot of Karen is very funny, it's like she's taunting CBS.

Not a spoiler. Just people assuming because his story doesn't quite seem finished.

The Walking Dead: Discussion Thread
Laurie Holden and David Morrisey (wearing my late grandfather's jacket...) are interviewed by E. No real spoilers but if you want to be cautious I don't blame you. I'm actually staying spoiler-free, which I normally don't do. I'm not expecting any huge shocks tonight but if there are some I want to actually be shocked for once. Laurie is always very classy about some of the virulent fan hate she gets. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=VUvjT8G-xhk

I agree with that - although that didn't seem to be the type of SB Long was writing. I always wonder why they were willing to give AW a little more time but not SB.

Another Life
It's always great to see another fan. I have sort of taken a hiatus while watching and doing a dozen other things, but there's something very special about the show and its heart. Do you prefer the show before or after Terry's husband was killed?

The Walking Dead: Discussion Thread
I had a dream earlier where Lauren had her own reality show on E. She was briskly walking down a corridor, and some man I thought was her father (I don't know if he was - I don't know anything about her father) was walking behind her. Fascinating stuff.

You have such a beautiful screenname. I agree that I wish the show had had more of a chance. I also wish we could see the 1982 episodes.

Bravo's The Real Housewives of....
After watching another disc of season 1 Atlanta... - DeShawn's party was just the type of awkward you can't stage, which made it all the more painful to watch. She clearly wasn't capable of anything she was striving for, and while the editing made this clear, I liked that they didn't mock her. I felt sorry for her and I thought the end with her husband comforting her in spite of the money loss was sweet. I was more than a little annoyed with Sheree repeatedly talking about how incompetent DeShawn was and how this isn't how you plan a charity benefit, she even went to the damn thing (looking great, admittedly) and continued to backbite, yet, unlike Kim and Nene, I saw her doing nothing to help. No money, no support. Nothing. And this leads to... - Sheree's fashion show, which, as pointed out by Nene's friend who seemed to have a staph infection on his knee, was "a fashion show with no fashion." I'm sure she didn't want to waste the money and the time she put into the showing but to just have some party with models done up like the go-go girls on Laugh-In made her look like a huge gadfly. I cringed when that poor woman who clearly wanted some reason to be there asked if Sheree was wearing her own design. Nope. I'd think the least she could have done if this had been planned for a while was to try to have a dress of her own design made for herself, made to wear at this party or at other parties - what better publicity, especially since Sheree does wear clothes very well. The whole thing came across like a child suddenly wanting to be a fashion designer. I was seriously embarrassed for her when her sweaty ex-husband came by and was clearly heard dogging her (something like "maybe now she'll actually do something"), all while she tried to present this as making some great statement to him. And the desperate hooting and catcalling when she was trying to find hot models...there's a very trashy side of Sheree that always seems to want to emerge. The split nature probably makes her the most fascinating part of these early episodes, for me anyway. - DeShawn looks like Michelle Thomas (RIP). - Weird seeing DeShawn and Lisa talking about their lives as sports wives, as they're now both divorced. I actually thought their marriages seemed very stable (aside from Lisa's husband having to leave for Oakland). I guess it's another reminder not to believe what you see on TV. Lisa's my favorite of the women in these episodes. She's got incredible charisma and poise, she isn't afraid of drama but she doesn't start it, she seems to be able to navigate all sides, and she's just plain fun to watch, but not desperate, like when she used the stripper pole without treating the camera as her gynocelogist. - Kim and Sheree's friendship seems very vapid. The talk about how the other is so beautiful and stunning and have they always been beautiful and stunning never seemed to end. It also had a lesbionic vibe. That would have been more interesting. Kim's friend, Cora (?), is annoying as hell and has Valley Girl speak. Was she replaced by Sweetie? I don't care about the singing career stuff as of yet but I did like her dressing down by the voice coach. It felt very "real." - Nene's song about Kim cracked me up. I think being around this type of personality would be very draining (although she seems very different with her family), but it's entertaining to watch. I'm probably more interested in the personal stuff with Nene, like her father, and the foundation she was setting up, or her relationship with her kids, over the Kim/Sheree rehash, especially since, as Eric (?) said, it's the same "not on the list" clip over and over and over and over.

Another media darling, and GOP token, Ben Carson, shows his true self. Sadly this type of very open, very virulent bigotry will just improve his standing with the far right. http://www.slate.com/blogs/weigel/2013/03/28/_be_they_gays_be_they_nambla_be_they_people_who_believe_in_beastiality.html More bigotry, although this from someone who has held onto office solely through pork power, so he can probably say whatever trash he wants. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-politics/wp/2013/03/28/republican-rep-don-young-refers-to-latinos-using-racial-slur/
